Chapter 114: Too Simple a Battle
Before Lin Yun could make any further move, he saw the blonde girl suddenly pull herself out of the trash can. Her body was covered in dirt and unknown water stains. She pursed her lips and raised her head.
She didn't say anything, but the look in her eyes as she looked at Lin Yun seemed to say everything.
Lin Yun looked at her and couldn't help but take two steps back.
"Why are you backing off?"
The girl's face turned pale, but she still stepped closer to Lin Yun: "Are you feeling guilty?"
"I have no reason to feel guilty."
Lin Yun stretched out his hand to signal her to stop: "How about you stop first?"
"If you tell me to stop, I have to listen to you?"
The girl subconsciously raised the corners of her mouth, wanting to laugh, but then she realized the meaning of Lin Yun's words and was unable to say the second half of the sentence.
She frowned, raised her hand and sniffed it. Then, she didn't know what she smelled, but she stuck out her tongue like a cat that was stung by the stench, closed her eyes as if she was greatly stimulated, and shook her head desperately.
However, this could not free her from the influence of the smell. She could not help but squat on the spot again, opened her mouth, and retched for a long time before she stood up again. Her face was filled with palpitations and she was a little at a loss.
"Are you okay?"
Seeing her like this, Lin Yun couldn't help but ask, "Why don't we stop now and find a place to wash up?"
"don't want."
The blonde girl raised her hand and tried to wipe her face, but the water stains on her forehead made her face turn blue. Then she puffed up her cheeks and looked like she was about to vomit: "I'm a magical girl. How can this garbage and dirty water have any effect on me? As long as I cancel the transformation, even the injuries I suffered can be healed. It's just dirt..."
“It’s very dirty.”
Before she finished her words, Lin Yun seriously corrected her, "You'd better wash it quickly, otherwise it will leave a bad smell."
He wasn't trying to change the subject or to provoke the other person; in fact, what he said was true.
Although a magical girl can avoid harm after transforming, no matter what kind of injury she suffers, as long as her true form is not damaged, it will not affect her body. However, the dirt on the surface of the body is different.
Because the stains are not part of the magical girl's body, even if the transformation ends and the body is restored, these stains will still be completely preserved.
This is common sense to most magical girls.
Lin Yun's words made the blonde girl stand there in a daze for a while. She obviously realized the problem. She was stunned for a long time, and gradually a strange smile appeared on her face, but this smile seemed to carry a bit of collapse.
If Lin Yun saw correctly, there was a faint gleam of water in the corners of her eyes.
"Gu--hahahaha! So what!"
Trying to make her laugh sound nonchalant, the girl said loudly, "Do you think this can dampen my morale and shake my determination? I tell you, it's impossible, forget it!"
"Retreat now? Go back and find a place to take a shower? I won't!"
After that, without waiting for Lin Yun to explain further, she began to gather her magic power, clenched her right hand, and grasped the magic wand that appeared out of thin air in her hand: "I will definitely catch you here!"
"I don't know what you're talking about!" Lin Yun still insisted on his own character, and refuted with the same righteous words, "Finally, I warn you, don't come close! Otherwise, I will definitely report you to the Strategy Bureau for dereliction of duty as a magical girl!"
"I've already told you that the Strategy Bureau has no control over me!"
The girl shouted loudly, raised her hand and a beam of magic energy shot towards Lin Yun.
This beam of magic came very suddenly, but fortunately Lin Yun was prepared. He leaned to the side and avoided the attack.
But when he dodged the attack, he realized that he had done something unnecessary.
Perhaps considering that he might not be an enemy of the same level as the remnant beast, the blonde girl did not actually use much force in her magic beam. Even though it did not hit Lin Yun, it only left a black mark on the ground not far away.
If Lin Yun had really been hit by such a blow, it would have confirmed his identity as an ordinary person; but it was too late now, and his subconscious instinct when being attacked made him choose to dodge.
In this way, no matter how slow-witted the blonde girl is, she will find the unreasonableness in it.
"Hmph, an ordinary person? Can you dodge the attack of a magical girl?"
The blonde girl grinned and said, "I knew it. The fluctuation of magic power just now was so clear. How could it be my illusion? You, an old man who looks like a bad guy, are lying to me!"
"I look like a bad guy?" There was nothing wrong with her other inferences, but the last sentence made Lin Yun a little stunned.
"An old man like you who looks neat, serious and cold is most likely a pervert in private! People like you are the ones who are called beasts!"
Pointing at Lin Yun, the blonde girl said loudly, as if she had solved a difficult problem: "You've already exposed yourself. Now surrender!"
As she finished her words, she raised her hand and released several more beams of magic power.
The two people were chasing each other in the alley. Lin Yun used various shelters around him to avoid the pursuit of the blonde girl. At the same time, he put his hand to his chest again, thinking about whether to explain his identity to the other party.
Such thoughts delayed his actions after all, causing a beam of magic power to pass through his sleeves and bring up a piece of torn cloth.
"Hahaha, there's no way an ordinary magician could possibly dodge my attack!"
The attack was not working for a long time. The blonde girl who had finally succeeded laughed hysterically, with a hint of crying in her voice: "Look, I'm going to destroy you right here, so that no one will know what happened here!"
Shouting out lines that were totally unbecoming of a magical girl and sounded like a villain, the girl raised her hand, and magic gradually gathered at the tip of her wand: "The next shot will decide the outcome!"
What she said was true, because Lin Yun could feel that this time, the magic power she called upon was completely different from before, and it had exceeded the limit that ordinary people could use.
It seems that things have reached a point where they cannot be reconciled again.
Since the other party is serious about this, I have no choice but to transform.
Lin Yun thought in his heart, and somewhat helplessly activated the magic power of the heart flower on his chest. The azure magic power quickly emerged from it, and the magic thread wrapped around his feet.
But almost at the same time when he activated his magic power, the blonde girl in front of him encountered an accident again.
After she finished swearing fiercely, she stepped on a slippery surface, then her foot slipped inexplicably and she fell backwards to the ground.
It would have been fine if she had just fallen, but the weird thing was that because she sat down on the ground, the magic beam at the tip of the wand flew out of her hand and shot straight into the sky.
The pale yellow trail of magic illuminated the dark alley, as brilliant as fireworks.
"you……"
Staring blankly at the track left by the magic beam she had shot off target, the girl lowered her head again and wanted to argue again, but then a muffled sound was heard in the sky.
Boom! Just as she uttered a word, a metal pipe suddenly fell from the sky, hitting the blonde girl on the head and knocking her to the ground.
Then, she was silent again.
Only Delphinium, who had just completed the transformation, was left. She put one hand on the heart gem around her neck, looking at the girl lying on the ground without saying a word. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
Although the situation was a bit stiff and awkward for a moment, she felt that she should still go and take a look.
Walking to the side of the blonde girl, she saw her lying on the ground with her eyes closed. Delphinium couldn't help but reach out and feel her breath. After finding that the blonde girl was still breathing, she pushed her arm and asked, "Are you okay?"
This question has not received a corresponding answer.
Hearing Delphinium's voice, the blonde girl slightly opened her eyes, but did not speak, just staring at Delphinium for a while. Then, she closed her eyes again and completely passed out.
As the girl lost consciousness, her unskilled magic power could no longer be used, and her transformation was lifted. After the light faded, the one left was no longer the magical girl, but a girl who looked only about twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a school uniform.
Judging from her appearance alone, the girl doesn't look much different from when she became a magical girl. She is obviously a novice who has just reached the budding level, which is very consistent with the level she has shown.
Looking at the girl lying on the ground with some helplessness, Kuija wanted to help her up, but suddenly realized that there was still dirt on her body from the trash can. For a moment, her outstretched hand froze in mid-air.
She pondered for a while, thinking about what to do with the girl on the ground. In the end, she decided not to interfere and just leave her to her teammates.
According to the blonde girl's previous description, there were three magical girls on their trip, and the other two were now fighting with the remaining beasts. If all went well, they would come back to find her after the battle was over.
With an idea in mind, Delphinium turned around, walked out of the alley, and went to the neighborhood where the crippled beasts were causing trouble.
Since the blonde girl didn't seem to be in danger of life, it would be better for her to go to the remnant beast to take a look to be on the safe side, in case her two teammates were as unreliable as she was and something unexpected happened during the expedition.
As Delphinium was thinking about this, it returned to the place where it had seen the remaining beast, and discovered that there was indeed a fierce battle going on in that direction.
The red and blue magic light swirled around the remnant beast, colliding with its skin, splashing sparks and making deafening roars. After a while, when the remnant beast was gradually unable to resist the two magical attacks, the red and blue light split into two intersecting flashes, flashing across its chest and tearing the still roaring remnant beast in half.
The troublesome beast was easily dealt with.
The sharp-eyed Delphinium immediately saw that in the blue magic track, there was a girl holding a weapon in her hand that did not look like a magic wand at all.
It's a magic suit.
Understanding it, Cuiqiao couldn't help but take another look at the alley not far away.
It is obvious that the blonde girl's teammates can deal with the remaining beasts so easily and skillfully, but the blonde girl herself is flustered and makes mistakes when facing an ordinary person. In the end, she even smashes herself and her transformation is canceled. The gap between the two is too big.
And since this is how the matter ended up, and the blonde girl didn't seem to have discovered the truth about her identity, there was no need for her to stay here for long in the guise of Delphinium.
After thinking about the next move in her mind, Delphinium walked into the alley again, lifted the blonde girl out, and let her sit against the wall at the entrance of the alley.
She had to make sure the kid was visible to her teammates when they came back, so she wouldn't end up lying in the dark alley with no one paying attention.
After doing these things, she took advantage of the darkness in the alley to cancel her transformation, followed the same path she came from, and climbed back through the window to the convenience store's warehouse.
When Lin Yun washed his hands, picked up his luggage, and walked out of the convenience store calmly, he saw that the place where the beasts had attacked was empty.
Apparently, the group of magical girls had left.
Lin Yun blended into the crowd on the road, pretending to be an ordinary tourist. He passed by the place where he had left the blonde girl. Looking into the alley, he saw a girl in a short skirt with light red hair and a girl in a cloak with green hair surrounding the blonde girl. They had helpless expressions on their faces and it was unknown what they were communicating about.
The two talked for a while, and seemed to have reached a consensus. The blue-haired magical girl put the blonde girl on her shoulders with a look of disgust, and then the two of them slowly took off and flew into the sky.
Many people then realized that the magical girl was in the alley nearby, and quickly picked up their phones to take pictures of the magic trail left in the air.
In the noisy crowd, Lin Yun looked at their gradually receding figures, narrowed his eyes slightly, and seemed to be thinking about something.
